Fees and Billing Concerns
Beermann LLP has been criticized for its billing practices, including charging clients for "motions to withdraw" at the end of engagements, which has been deemed inappropriate by the Cook County Circuit Court. The firm has also been accused of billing clients for intake calls without advance agreement and double and triple billing through its "team approach".
Effective Representation
On the other hand, many reviewers have praised the firm's attorneys, including Colleen Breems, Cory Oshita, Justino, and Joe Napoli, for their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to their clients' cases. They have been commended for their excellent communication skills, thoroughness, and ability to achieve favorable outcomes.

However, one reviewer expressed disappointment with the firm's representation, citing critical errors in presenting evidence and negotiating a poor settlement. The reviewer also alleged that the firm's "team approach" billing resulted in excessive costs.
